I don't think any of the BT hubs are designed to be used in this way. You are better off getting a dedicated WiFi access point to do the job, or mesh type solution. If you need additional ethernet ports, buy an ethernet switch - they are cheap enough if you want something basic.</P> Fri, 12 Jan 2024 12:10:04 GMT https://business.forums.bt.com/t5/Broadband/Re-purposing-BT-Home-Hub-4-0-as-an-Access-Point-Few-Questions/m-p/90580#M17055 Fibrejay 2024-01-12T12:10:04Z
